Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between applications.
Deadhead spent flower stalks to maintain tidiness and encourage reblooming. Trim any dead or damaged foliage as needed to keep the plant looking its best.
Easily propagated by division of established clumps in spring or autumn. Seed propagation is also possible but may result in variations.
